17th of November 2026.
Government agencies across Australia face a common and persistent challenge: how to fund, justify, and sustain a scalable modernisation program in an environment defined by constrained budgets, risk aversion, and competing priorities.
This half-day forum, hosted by SAP in Canberra, is designed specifically for those who have a role in deciding and planning modernisation and change management programs and who need to understand their processes and architecture to help:
· Build the case for change
· Deliver the change
· Monitor and measure the value of the change
Throughout the day we’ll cover three key themes:
· De-risking the system move
· Activating the Value Office to build compelling internal business cases
· Building organisational muscle for continuous improvement
We will also show some of the exciting new and future developments with the Business Transformation Management (BTM) toolchain focused on SAP Signavio and LeanIX.
Title: How Government Strengthens the case to modernise their legacy systems, especially their ERP Programs.
Date: 17th of November 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM
Venue: National Press Club – 16 National Circuit, Barton ACT 2600
Opening Address
In our opening address, you'll get an overview of the day's objectives, the three themes, and why building and sustaining the case for change is now a strategic imperative for government agencies.
The Government Modernisation Challenges and Constraints
We'll have a frank conversation on the common modernisation challenges and constraints that inhibit government agencies from moving forward, including funding constraints, risk exposure and value analysis. We'll also introduce the investment case for advanced methodologies and tooling to assist with the modernisation journey.
De-Risking the Move to Modernisation of ERP
Projit will give an end-to-end agent toolchain demonstration showing how Signavio, LeanIX, Cloud ALM, Tricentis, Syniti and WalkMe work together to map, govern, test, and adopt change. A particular focus will be spent on how poor practices have undermined past implementations — and how that can be prevented in your agency. We'll also look at emerging capabilities: the New Canvas, Process Consulting Agent, Agent Analytics, and the LeanIX AI Agent Hub.
Activating the Value Office — Building the Business Case
Parul will provide a practical session on how to establish and operate a Value Office within a government context and demonstrate how agencies can use BTM generated insights to present a self-funding model that resonates with finance and executive stakeholders. Learn how to identify, measure, and communicate the value of transformation to secure ongoing internal investment.
Building the BPM Office for Continuous Improvement
Establishing a Business Process Management (BPM) Office creates a central foundation for driving process excellence and continuous improvement across the organisation. By bringing together process governance, clear ownership, consistent methodologies and performance measurement, the BPM Office helps organisations move beyond isolated improvement initiatives towards a coordinated, sustainable approach to transformation. Discover how a well-structured BPM Office can strengthen accountability, improve operational efficiency and embed continuous improvement into everyday business operations.
Crafting the Future: The SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX Roadmap
In this forward-looking session you'll get a direct view of what's next for SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX, as we cover the near and medium-term roadmap for both platforms. We'll talk about company memory, process intelligence, AI-assisted optimisation, and enterprise architecture integration including AI governance. You'll understand how upcoming capabilities reinforce the self-funding model discussed throughout the day.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask direct questions of SAP product and solution experts.
Wrap Up and Next Steps
Paul will deliver a summary of key takeaways, provide an outline of available resources, and share how to initiate follow-on engagements. You'll go away knowing how the SAP team can support your agency in applying these approaches.
Light networking to follow.
